We are having engagement pictures taken on the 16th of May! I can't wait to meet our photographer and see what she is going to do. She has already mentioned a nice waterfall picture setting.

Now on to what to wear....I am thinking about one of these...

Just have to figure out solid or pattern? Color? What to get Will to match in??

Anyone have any favorite engagement poses?

Yummy Cake

I found this cake...Isn't it perfect??? I would like to add some green flowers flowing down one side. I am thinking about taking out the scroll on the middle section and putting our monogram there instead. Thoughts?

Colors

When thinking of colors it was very easy to pick what we wanted.  I wanted Black and White and Will wanted some green so thats how we came to Black and White Damask with a green accent.  Color Scheme:  (We will have white table linens, Damask runners and underlays and green flowers)

Our fabric choice is call Traditions.  We will be making table runners and underlays out of this.

Seen any items around in stores that are Damask??  Leave me a comment and let me know where!

Location, Location, Location

Well this weekend did not turn out to be blessed in the location selection.  We started Saturday morning with seven locations to check out.  Here's how that went:

• Three locations only held 75 people
• One was $3,700!!  with nothing included!
• One had a wedding so we scheduled an appt for Sunday
• One Inn is in the middle of town and the site is loud because of traffic

So on Sunday we visited this quaint little garden/inn.  The ceremony would be held at the Wisteria Arbor.  It was so antique-y and pretty until you started noticing little things.  The only plus is that for the rental cost everything is included! (tables, chairs, location, plates, glasses, silverware, etc..)

Back to square one and running out of locations to look at!  We might be a little picky as well. We would like to find a space that is outside but also has a alternate building in case of rain or where the reception could be held.  We would like to have it all in one place and not ask our guests to drive around.  And most importantly be reasonably priced! So we are asking for a lot!

I should mention that week we looked at a beautiful Garden but was unsure of the people being able to walk around the gardens during the ceremony.  We had a lot of discussion about that today and would really hope that people were respectful of the 20-30 minute ceremony.  I love love love this garden.


and what does the mr. say when I start to get down about finding a location....."wherever you want is fine, the location isn't what matters" :)

Back to the search this week.  We hope to have a location in the next couple of weeks.

Let's get started...

Will proposed on April 3rd, 2009 and I said Yes!  I didn't want to turn my craft blog into a wedding blog so here we are with a Journey from Miss to Mrs.  I plan on documenting our planning experience and thought this would be a great venue to get additional ideas and advice. So, please enjoy our journey to becoming husband and wife!
